In a novel scaling limit on the Coulomb branch of planar N=4 SYM, the Sudakov form factor and four-point amplitude exhibit double-logarithmic behavior governed by a walking anomalous dimension that interpolates between cusp and octagon anomalous dimensions, with proposed all-loop expressions relying

abstract
We discuss the structure of infrared singularities in on-shell QCD amplitudes at two-loop order. We present a general factorization formula that controls all the $\ep$-poles of the dimensionally regularized amplitudes. The dependence on the regularization scheme is considered and the coefficients of the $1/\ep^4, 1/\ep^3$ and $1/\ep^2$ poles are explicitly given in the most general case. The remaining single-pole contributions are also explicitly evaluated in the case of amplitudes with a $q{\bar q}$ pair.

Leading-colour two-loop virtual amplitudes for ttbar+jet are extracted analytically via finite-field evaluations and differential equations, then packaged in a C++ library with new numerical integration techniques.
First numerical evaluation of planar two-loop helicity amplitudes for W-boson plus four partons using finite-field reduction and sector decomposition on a subset of master integrals.
The all-loop bare perturbative part of the four-quark Bethe-Salpeter kernel is computed analytically in the large-Nf limit of massless QCD.
Analytic expressions for the finite remainders of two-loop leading-color helicity amplitudes in Higgs plus two-jet production are obtained in the heavy-top effective theory using numerical unitarity and a new partial-fraction algorithm.
A decomposition splits the most singular dipole term of the N-jettiness soft function into an inclusive soft function and a remainder that is absent at NLO, finite at NNLO, and subtractable at N3LO, enabling NNLO results for up to five jets.
A lightcone-expansion strategy using Wilson-line correlators and the Method of Regions yields the three-loop soft anomalous dimension for QCD amplitudes with one massive colored particle and arbitrary massless ones.
